Marvel Movie History For Sale in The First Avenger Auction

As a loyal citizen of the Empire I've always felt that it's sort of a patriotic duty to not like Captain America, a task made somewhat easier by the fact that as superheroes go, he's about as interesting as paint that's already dry. But if he was my kind of superguy, and I wasn't so atrociously poor, I'd be mighty tempted to throw some money at some of the stuff up for grabs at The First Avenger Auction.

Profiles in History, "the world's largest auctioneer of original Hollywood memorabilia," is working with Marvel Entertainment to offload a bunch of crap left over from the Captain America: The First Avenger movie shoot.

It's not cheap, though; bidding on the "distressed stunt shield" that Cap carried when he infiltrated Hydra headquarters for the final showdown with the Red Skull, for instance, starts at $3000.

But hey, it's only money, right? And since you've obviously got lots of it lying around, here's some more junk you can throw it at:
